    Hi all,
    Looking for a internal non-powered dehumidifier for my car. Had one before, but can't find another one. In the north Kildare/Dublin area.

    Found it very handy in the mornings, as I could get into the car, and not have to worry about condensation.

    Or, even a name and supploer, so I could order it through my local car shop place.

    The powdery crystals that come in sachets in the packaging with most electrical products is called dessicant silica gel, that's probably what you're looking for.

    Halfords do a kit comprising of a container & crystals which absorb the moisture, approx €5-7. Failing that, most motor factors or even camping/outdoor store should have them off the shelf

    Lidl and Aldi were where I got mine. I have no idea if they still stock them though.

    Woodies it'll be, then. Halfords have a sh|t reputation, and the staff tend to know f**k all. Woodies staff tend to know about their stock, or know which staff member does. Also, Woodies is closer.

    You could try Silica Gel. These crystals absorb atmospheric water and change colour from blue to pink. Once they turn pink you can put them in the oven for a while and drive off the water and reuse them. 'Am not sure how successful they would be though.

    Always find because Woodies is irish it's also at least 20% more than any other chain. Though mostly that's not true. Mostly they are 50% more...
    Try B&Q.
